  Speaker 1: From a championship backfield to your morning drive. Hands to Hester,
• 0:08

• 0:12
  Speaker 1: locked in to Off the Bench. Flynn is back.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: To throw for the end zone ball.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Live from the Raising Cane Studio, here's Jacob Hester and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Matt Flynn.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Welcome in OTV here on this Monday, Monday, Monday.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Your house got a case of the Mondays. Flynn, Alondra, Tay-Tay.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Fresh off beating the ever-living, ever-loving Hail out to Texas.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: A & M Aggies. Double. Isn't that what they do? Yeah.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: You got to lean back and do the little knee
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: thing for no reason at all. But, yeah, you got it. Yeah,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: that too.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: Weekend winner.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Actually, they just go fight Texas Aggies.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Which I don't think anybody outside of college stations ever
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: called them that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Nerds.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Who do you have this week fighting Texas Aggies? It'd
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: be like, no, but like what team?
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: And they didn't put up a lot of fight on Saturday.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: No, they quit.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: They quit. And it wasn't even late in the game
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: when they quit.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Kicking that field goal and not going for it. I
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: was like, they have conceded. And it's halfway through the
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: third quarter.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I think it was.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: The second Jackson Harris touchdown where Lane kind of like
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: threw like a sledgehammer.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: It's over. Nail in the coffin. Lay down, please.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: It was a dirt.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Either way. I like that. He did something. That was fun.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Did you say a little parenting was going on between
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Lane and Mike Elko? Like a who's your daddy type deal? Yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Because he was talking about parenting from the SEC to Lane.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: It was like, I'm your daddy.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Belt to butt.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: BTB.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: BTB. Everybody says it.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: All the time.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: A little bit later on, it'll be BTA. Right now,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it's BTB. 8 a.m. The A's are going to be flying.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: We have respect around here for children. Yeah, for the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: early car pullers. It is early for car pull, though. Yeah,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: mine's a 705. They get in the car. That's tough.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: So I guess if you want to say some A's,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: you'd have to actually say them, like, in the next
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: 90 seconds.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Ass.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Bell to ass.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Get them all in, Matt.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Everybody hurry. Taylor, you didn't go yet.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Earmuffs. Earmuffs. All right. No, that was a lot of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: fun watching that game. I assume that the stadium was rocking. Yeah,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it was good. I also assume it was not rocking
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: at a certain point, though, because there was too much
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: belt going on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Not really. I think they enjoyed the belt.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I think so. Because of last year.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, they even booed the A & M marching
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: band when they came on the field for halftime.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: I didn't love that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Actually, I loved it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I think that band's a little cool.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: No, it's not.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: It's Texas A & M.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: No.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, their band's a little cool.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It's not nearly as cool.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Not as cool as, no, but I mean, they do.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Some pretty cool stuff. We got to talk about this later.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: We don't have time right now.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: We got three hours. Nothing about A & M is cool.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: That's correct, yes.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: I agree.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: But they're banned. A & M also enjoyed the belt
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: on Saturday. That's the type of school that they are.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Nothing about A & M is cool or fun.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: They're like, more, please.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Stop.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: The band looks like it's soldiers marching in formation a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: But they're not. They're not. They're not a male team.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But it reminds me. But they're not.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: And then the one person with the tons.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: They're literally like stolen valor.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:20
  Speaker 9: Matt.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Highest ranked member of the Corps of Cadets.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Who is it?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Which one of those guys out there?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Which one of what guys?
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: It's the dog. It's the collie dog.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: It is the dog. It's an actual.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: It's the highest ranking member.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What does that mean?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: It means she outranks all the actual humans that are
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: in the Corps of Cadets.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: If she barks in class, class is dismissed.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I thought she just goes into class.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: She's in the class. She has to bark.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: And the sophomore cadet takes care of Reveille. If Reveille
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: jumps on the bed, the cadet has to take the floor.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: That's crazy.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: No chance in hell I'm ever doing that. Get off
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the bed, bro.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Well, you don't have any respect.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I've told y'all this before, but I think it's been
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: a while. On my visit to Texas A & M,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: they were playing Nebraska. Nebraska was still in the Big 12,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: so it was A & M. And Nebraska wins at
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Kyle Field, like, last second. And, you know, 50 fans
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: from Nebraska kind of storm the field or whatever. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: the cadets draw their swords out, and they're swinging them
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: like they're really going to cut somebody up. I was like, man,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: if you don't holster that plastic-ass sword, what are you doing?
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I was like, I'm not coming to this place. There
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: is no chance I'm coming to this place.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Seize your swords. That's right, Adam.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd have packed my bags and left. Did you
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: stay the night at that point, or were you like,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I'm out of here?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we just drive back. We don't need you playing.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: We're good. We don't need that. They got swords.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, I was like, did this man just pull
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: out a sword on these other humans?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hold it like this. No, they were doing it
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: like this. Zorro. Not even the right way. They have
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a good form.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: What do you know about form?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Sword form?
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: What do you know about sword form?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, I've seen some movies now. Trust me. I could
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: do it better than them. Three Musketeers?
• 6:19
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. So you got it. So it was 35-6.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: It was a complete just dismantling of A & M.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: The crazy part about it is it could have been worse.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Like, you missed a field goal.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: You dropped a touchdown in the end zone. You didn't
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: have to be overly aggressive, so you weren't, which I get.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: It very easily.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Could have been.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Down to the last second, it could have been 41 to. Oh, yeah.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, that was not a very good attempt.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Hunt was sitting next to me.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I wanted that one bad, too.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: Hunt was like, can we just kneel? And I was like, no,
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: I want a 40 piece.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Me and Hunt are so different.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: I said, no, we want 40.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: And look, he's going to come in here and you're
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: going to say injuries and blah, blah, blah, blah. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: wanted that touchdown so bad that when he dropped it,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: I was standing up and.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I went to a full squat.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: And it's not like you can say.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I wanted it so bad. You can fumble.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Crazy things can happen. It's 35-6, bud. There's no risk
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: in doing that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: I just wanted one more last play of the game,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: put a stamp on the end of it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Something bad could happen, but also something good could happen
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: if you think about it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: It's pretty much every play, I would say. I would
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: argue that's every play.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: It's a real coin toss, yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Something about like 42-6. I just felt right. It felt
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit better for me. Like, was there an overbet?
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: No, I have no idea what the line was.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: I don't even know what the– I'm just saying, like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: for me, after how they acted last year in your stadium,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: just put a 42 piece on them.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think after last year, I don't care.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: And it was a good play.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And look, and honestly, I think we all kind of
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: get it too. Like, they– not to say that you
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: should ever act a certain way, but they– The way
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: they played against us last year, they kind of deserve
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: to be able to take over your spot for a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: But it also was great fuel for us this year
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: and got us a new head coach. I'm not that
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: mad about it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: I'm not mad about it at all.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Y'all came in here and whipped our tails because it's
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: 7-0-9 now. Yeah. Our butts. So y'all can take over.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: When we go to Kyle Field and when we should
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: take it over.
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: If we beat them like that, we should take it over.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: I feel like it was the– I mean, obviously, since
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: he came in, it was a turning of the page.
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: But it just felt like putting the Brian Kelly era
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: completely to rest. Like, we got that monkey off our back.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Let's go.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I was looking through a buddy of mine during the game, and, like,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: that fourth down play where you throw a deep to
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Jackson Harris, that was the moment where you're like, Lane
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Kiffin's our head coach now. That's the Lane Kiffin offense that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: We've been waiting to see.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I've been waiting– for the celebrating before the play
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: actually happened because he knew he had it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I've seen it a couple times where he's done like this.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I've been waiting for that because I always thought it
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: was pretty fun when he threw the play sheet up
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: at Ole Miss.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I was like, that looks fun.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: I want to hang out with a team that does that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: He did that at Bama too when he was a coordinator.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: So when the ball was snapped, so I can actually
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: see the coaches too from our booth. If I lean
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: right over, I can see them. And, like, I could tell, like,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: they were excited when the ball was snapped. And then
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: I kind of, like, immediately went down. And you see
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: the head coach kind of, like, put the one hand
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: up and then, like, start kind of jogging.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, they feel pretty good about this one.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Because you script a certain play to go against a
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: certain look. It's kind of like when you have a
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: fake field goal up. And you're like, this is the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: one look that's part of this we're drawing this play
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: for this one look and then you get that look
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: as a coach you're like yeah we did it Jackson Harris.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Actually gave it to us. Yeah.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: Jackson Harris after the game was like, whenever I went
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: up there and he called it, my heart started beating
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: real fast because I knew, like, we had repped that
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: all week.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: And so he was like, I knew that we were
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: about to get it right there. Like, Jackson Harris was
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: really excited.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Hardest catch you'll ever make.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: That's what somebody next to me, Patrick Wright, who does
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: our stats, he goes like, Because I said that on
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: the broadcast. Like, that's the hardest catch and throw that
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: those two will ever make. He goes, what do you
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: mean by that? He's like, it's wide open. I go, exactly.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I said, for the receiver, that ball's in the air
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: for like 35 seconds. And you'll go, do I catch
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: it with my body? Do I catch it with my hands?
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: You'll kind of get it in between. And then for
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: the quarterback, and Matt, you can speak to that way
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: better than I can. You have a guy running down
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: the field wide open. And you got like, do I
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: put air on it? Do I just put it on him?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Wide open targets are the worst in a game. especially
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: like on a fourth down like that, somebody wide out,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: it is the hardest play to hit. Cause you're not
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: throwing it to beat a defender at that point. You're
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: throwing it not to look like a complete moron and
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: an idiot out there. Like I saw, I saw burrow
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: yesterday late in the game, hit a Gaseki, Gaseki, Gaseki, whatever, Gaseki.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I saw him. He was wide open. Almost missed him.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: That guy's like eight foot tall and he almost missed
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: them high because he was so wide open. It's just
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: like for everybody. why do people suck? And so like
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: it's a, but it was, it was such a cool
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: play call. And again, it's one of those plays I'd
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: be interested. Like if they didn't come out in the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: perfect defense for that, like what would you run the ball?
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Cause you had a fake heavy play. But of course
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: you bet. Cause they, cause they fake the, that was
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: one where they fake the direct snap, right? Their short
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: yardage direct snap. I mean, it was beautiful. You knew
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: something from that was coming at some point. Right. And,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I found it interesting because I think Lane was talking yesterday,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I believe, or maybe it was after the game, said
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: that I almost kicked it there because of the down
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: and distance, where we are in the field. The defense
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: was playing really well. The defense was playing really well,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: but then I was like, wait a minute, this is
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: kind of what they brought me here for, to go
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: for it. Yeah, that was after the game.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was after the game.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Did he do his thing yesterday? Didn't he do it
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: two weeks ago? Yeah, he did it last week.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: He started it after the Ole Miss game. I don't
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: know if he did it yesterday.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Got it. And then you kind of talked about your
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: differences between other people saying, you know, don't run, like,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: take a knee, run it up. I saw a lot
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: of differences between my opinion and a lot of other
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: opinions out there on the social media about it's a
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: certain score, your quarterback's hurt, take him out of the game.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I was like, keep that dude in there right now.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Let him cook. Let that dude feel what it's like
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: to play quarterback. Yeah. Play quarterback the right way in
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the system. Let him get some more practice reps in
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: there right now because Sam Leavitt was cooking.
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: And he was cooking on one leg. And it was
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: as soon as I saw that fake hamstring. Oh, yeah.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: With the tape and the artificial hamstring after halftime, which is.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I've worn that a few times. Oh, yeah. And pretty exciting. But, man,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: my guy played great. By far his best game.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, it's not even close.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Like, you talk about can he make the improvements by
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: the next game.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: He made them.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Even if he was forced to.
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Even if he had no options. His body said, we're
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: doing this today.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: He's throwing the ball off of one leg, and you're like,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: all right, I kind of like this.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I feel like even before he got injured, though, he
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: had kind of locked it in.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: Attacked the middle of the field, too.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he didn't get injured until the second quarter.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. His interception, I saw exactly.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: He had Jackson Harris going down the hash, and it
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: actually might end up being a huge play when the
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: guy's arm hit. So even on the interception, he saw
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: where the ball was supposed to go, and you could
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: see him. Trying to deliver a pass. And, again, Jackson
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Harris probably would have ended up with over 200 yards
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: receiving if his arm didn't get hit.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Yeah, old Sam's hamstring is like, Sammy, boy, we're
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: going to get better today, whether you like it or not.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: We're going to slow down today.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: We're going to slow down, buddy.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't like Jesse Palmer stealing all my lines during
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I didn't like Jesse Palmer.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I can't hear that.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: He's easy on guys. Why didn't y'all listen to your co-host?
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: It's pretty easy to sync the radio and the TV up.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I've done it before.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: It's on me. I don't have a local radio in
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: the house.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: What I listen to is Big Faith.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Do you have an Alexa? No.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: I don't believe that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that at all. Do you have a Siri?
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: What is it? I have my phone.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you can just put it on your phone and
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: put it on the speaker.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I can't just do that. I've got to use my
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: phone to scroll.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: This guy, rather than listen to Florida Gator quarterback Jesse Palmer.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: Then his friend.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Former bachelor.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Right? I'm not listening to my iPhone speaker during the game.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: I don't believe you don't have a smart speaker in
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: your home.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I just don't. I don't believe that. Why would I
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: have a smart speaker?
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Everybody does. Like an Alexa or something where you're like, hey,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: what's the weather today? And it tells you.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I don't do that.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: That's Taylor.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I just look at the sky. I look at the air.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: It's funny she says that because I don't have one.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Taylor is our Alexa. He's like, today's weather.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm in the minority. I thought everybody had one. Nope. Like, hey, Siri, play.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: If it's like a normal speaker, you could just.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I don't really know if I know anyone that does that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Besides you. Where they talk to their speaker? You ask
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: it like, hey, to play a song? Mm-mm. In the house?
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: Mm-mm.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I don't do that. Why? Robots?
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Anyway, you're not going to avoid the parlay.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: I know we haven't brought it up. You're not avoiding it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: We're bringing it up.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: It's going to happen.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: You're lucky we started the show talking about ever.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Living, ever loving. We did pretty good with three and one.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Ain't no we.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: What happened with the one?
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: We'll say.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: And we told you.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: We said, you idiot.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: This is stupid.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: You're doing it with your heart, and you're not doing
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: it with your mind. That's what's bothering me.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Because you did this to try to dunk on Notre Dame.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Yes. You know you did.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: And what was the pick two weeks ago that he missed?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: What was the one you missed two weeks ago?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: It was North Carolina. That was the one that should have.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: No, North Carolina should have hit.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: North Carolina choked that one away.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: I got you on that one. This one makes me angry.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It makes me mad, too. Because he did it just
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: because he hates Notre Dame. How was I supposed to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: know when I make these picks on Friday that, Purdue's
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: number three receiver is going to be out. Who is Purdue?
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Purdue.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Boilermakers.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Golly, man. We would have been 8-0 if it wasn't
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: for you. And we knew.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: I'm going to start baiting you every weekend.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: We told you when you picked that that it was
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: a bad pick. Yeah. Everybody hated it.
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: Why?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I'm about to go on a run, and all y'all
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: are going to miss your 50-50 bets. I'm 10-0 in
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Marler's picks the last 10. Mm-hmm.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Mine, I'm pretty sure, was over by the first quarter.
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: And then Texas was just not taking the opportunities that
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: Tennessee was giving them.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: Which is crazy.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: I want us to stop pretending that Texas is the
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: number one team in the country.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember what I'm paying.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Who would you rank ahead of them, though?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Georgia? Georgia. Georgia hasn't played anybody.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Texas has got the best win in the country against
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Ohio State. They got another win on the road against
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: a top 20 team.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think they've looked great. That only matters for
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: some people. They look awful.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, who do you rank ahead of them?
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: Like, Indiana being ranked, like, five or six.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: What? They haven't played anybody.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't know why we don't reset. Like, if
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: we actually reset it, like, Florida would be a top
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: three team.
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Like, if we hit a reset.
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: But we don't do that. We go off preseason narrative. So,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Indiana playing Howard and Northwestern and Western Kentucky.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: And then almost.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Oh, and almost losing to Northwestern.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: And Tennessee looked awful, too.
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: That was my first time watching them play this season,
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: and I was like, they play soft.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Like, they're all, like, soft.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that wasn't a great. Except Texas still couldn't run
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: the ball against them. The game wasn't very pretty.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: But their defense was running all over their offense.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I'll give them both credit. I'll give them both a
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: pass because it was 11. It was 11. Eastern time, right? Yeah, Knoxville.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the 11 a.m.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Window.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Nashville's central, Knoxville's eastern.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, interesting.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Did that blow your mind? No, it didn't blow my mind. Okay.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: It's right on the line. Okay.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 18:59

• 21:57
  Speaker 4: All right, let's take a look at the team stats
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: for LSU and Texas A & M. First down, LSU
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: wins 20-11. Neither team was great on third down. 4-12
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: for LSU, 4-15 for LSU. from Texas A & M.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: LSU did convert a fourth down. Should have been two
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: for two, but they were one for two on fourth downs.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Total yards, 506 for LSU to 197 for Texas A
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: & M. Through the air, 312 for LSU, 106 for
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: A & M. Rushing the ball, 194 for LSU to
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: only 91 for Texas A & M. Texas A &
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: M had 2.8 yards per carry. LSU had over five
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: yards per carry. Both teams about the same as far
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: as penalties. Seven for 44 for A & M, five
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: for 35 for LSU. Time of possession pretty much even
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: as well. 30-19 for LSU, 29-41 for Texas A & M.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: The story of the game was going to be what?
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Marcel Reed. We talked about him two years in a row.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: He comes in after halftime and puts on a show.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: There was no show to be had in Tiger Stadium
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: on Saturday. Through the air, he was 10 of 26,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: 106 yards, 4.1 yards per attempt, no touchdowns, one interception.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: That is a QBR of 31. Running the football, he
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: had 10 carries for negative 13 yards, negative 1.3 yards
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: per carry, and they take the sack yards away in college,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: but even if you don't do that, even if you don't,
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: he only had two successful runs, and I think the.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: Long was 12. You bottled him up.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: To say the least, and it was such a master
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: class by Blake Baker, this defensive staff. There's so many looks.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: I can't wait to go over the film review on
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Eye in the Sky. There's so many great looks. And also,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: there was a lot of times that the staff trusted
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: their guys in space to be a good enough athlete
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: to be able to get Marcel on the ground. There
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: was one that Deuce Gerald just came out of nowhere.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, absolute nowhere. And in space, he gets Marcel
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Reed on the ground. There was like two or three
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: where a D lineman had Marcel Reed in space and
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: the D lineman won. So great individual effort as well.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: You did that, you were going to win the game.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: And you did.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: You bottled him up to say the least. And then,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: as we talked about it, Sam Levitt has his best game.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Goes for 312, two touchdowns, 13.6 yards per attempt. Also
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: adds 22 yards on the ground. I loved the way
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: they ran the football. It was 38 times. They committed
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: to the run, 194 yards, three touchdowns on the ground.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: And it was Dylan Jones. Harlan Berry got in there
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: at the end. Landon Clark had some time. Sam Levitt.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: You had a couple of receivers actually ran the football
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: as well. It's a great game plan, well-executed game plan,
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: and that's how the Tigers went 35-6.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just as we go forward into the season,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: and again, four games into the season, into a long season,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Sam's got to get healthy, right? Yep. Now, he also
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: has to, once he does get healthy, completely healthy, he
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: has to remember this game. I texted y'all after, I
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: think it was like middle of the first quarter. I
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: was like, don't let Sam learn how to count to six,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: because if he can count to six, this team can
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: go a long way. And I'm talking about the RPO game.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: They ran the ball in first down. They called RPOs
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: where he did a much, much, much better job and
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: deciding when to hand the ball and when to throw
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: the ball on RPOs. We talked about it on our
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: film review last week. RPO is run pass option, not
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: pass run option. It is run first until they take
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: it away. And then you throw it as an answer.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: You throw it as an answer to them, taking away
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the run. You don't, go in there with the mindset,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to throw it if I like the throw.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: It is, you throw it if you don't like the
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: look to the run. And Sam learned how to count
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: to six this time. And if he can do that,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: plus all the things that came with his passing game
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and getting through the progressions and that hamstring, absolutely forcing
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: him to become a better passer, to become a better–
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: quarterback in a passing offense, go through his progressions better,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: slow down, not giving him, mentally not giving him that,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: taking away one part of his game, which improved another
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: part of his game. And he threw the ball accurately,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: threw the ball in time, made really good reads. I
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: was very impressed with Sam Levitt's game. And his toughness,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: of course. I mean, that's a hard thing to do.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Hamstrings suck. So it's one of those things that as
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: he gets healthy and that part of his game comes back,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping that He uses it as an answer to
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the passing game not being there. So his wanting to
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: run as a passer and scramble is kind of like
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: the opposite of his RPO. He's thinking all of it
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: all backwards.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: The play he actually really hurt his hamstring was actually
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: a pretty good play by him.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: He was in the pocket. It broke down. He didn't panic.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: He stepped fully up, like aggressive step up.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Then he stepped out.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: To try to see if anybody was open, and then
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: he ran. I'm like, even that's an improvement because you're
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: stepping up in the pocket, and then you're going sideways
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: just in case somebody pops open, and then you decide
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: to run it.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: That's a good play. This game, this Texas A &
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: M game, is going to do so much for Sam
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Levitt's future, his potential, the way that people view him
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: at the NFL, the way it's going to affect in
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: a positive way If he learns from this and understands
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: why and can emulate that or simulate that throughout the
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: season as he goes forward and gets healthier, it's going
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: to do so much for this 2026 team as well. Now,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I know that there's a lot, and we're going to
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: get to injuries, and there's a lot of things that
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: is also kind of going a wrong direction for this
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: team from a personnel standpoint, which is brutal. Yeah, I
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: get that. I know your head coach has talked about
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: the depth and the issues there. But from the quarterback
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: standpoint still, if you have a quarterback that can be
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: dangerous and work the system, work this Lane Kiffin system,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: you're going to be a threat the whole season. All right.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I didn't want to be a Debbie Downer to
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: start the show, certainly with the way that you play,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: but Matt did just say it. There are some injuries
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: that we have to talk about when we come back.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: What does it mean? How long are those players going
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: to potentially be out? We'll break that down when we
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: come back here on OTB.
• 28:46

  Speaker 4: Off the bench with Hester and Flynn, presented by Bayou Automotive.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in, OTB. I don't want y'all
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: to treat me any differently after the K-Z commercial drop
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: on the football weekend.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: I thought you were going to say it because Theo
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: put you on his story.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Well, that either, but really about the K-Z commercial. Man,
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: that's a normal guy.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: It was the first commercial after the game. It dropped?
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: You got primetime?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Dang.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a primetime Super Bowl spot.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, basically. It is. Shout out to KDC.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: KDCblinds.com. KDC Interior is now outdoor living. You saw the commercial.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: You saw it. One touch. Screen goes down. One touch.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: How long were you in the makeup chair? No makeup.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I don't need that. No needed. No. I don't need
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: it with skin like that. I'm tan enough. I don't
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: need it. Same.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: I feel like facial hair is men's makeup.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Unless somebody shaves their mustache. Looks like a doofus.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: Something's different about you.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Guy gets a mustache for six, seven months. Now all
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: of a sudden that's... It's you. I told you, my
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: little one is like, what's wrong with your face? This
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: was yesterday. It's a loaded question. It is a loaded question.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: And I said, you tell me what's wrong with my face.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: She said, something's different. And I was like, what's different?
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: She said, I don't know, something about your lips. And
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, what specifically about my lips is different?
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I want you to put your finger on it. And
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, what about my lips is different? And
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: she said, I don't know. And then she giggled and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: just ran off. I don't know.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: But that made you feel good the rest of the day.
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Asking your kid to tell you what's wrong with your
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: face probably opens it up to you.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to let you know.
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: If you have children my age, don't ask them that.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: They'll roast you. They'll get roasted.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: It's like, Dad, there's nothing you can do about it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: I just want you to be self-conscious.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I just want you to be self-conscious. There's something different.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: Well, let's rip the Band-Aid off here on this one.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: The parlay?
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: Well, that, no. We'll get to that. Whit Weeks.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Band-Aid thing, a metaphor. He's got a fracture.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, after the game, you kind of go down there,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: you check on your guy, and and you kind of
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: hear him talking about it and I, and I heard
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: what it was and I'm sitting there like punching the air.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I'm so mad at it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, last year, you know, has something similar and
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: fights through it and kind of in and out of
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: the lineup. Cause he just wants to be out there.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: And I forget what South Carolina game. You can just tell,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: you know, how much pain he's in. Then, you know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: he gets a chance to get in there with his brothers.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: That was fun. Tries to play in the Oklahoma game
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: and plays a handful of plays and, just never right.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: And, you know, when you have an injury.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Like that, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Like when you have an injury like that, you repair
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: that injury. Sometimes like the things around it, obviously you
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: get a little compromised because there's so much attention on
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: that one spot.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: And so just very, very unfortunate news.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Everybody knows what wit means to the LSU defense with
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: his play, obviously. But with just his leadership and being
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: around the attitude that he brings to the field, You
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: can't replicate that. That happens organically. He's one of the
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: better leaders I've ever seen on a college football field.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: And so LSU is going to have to find a
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: way without Whit Weeks.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: Now, how long?
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Because certain fractures, depending on the size of the fracture,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: where it's at, and how quickly you can go in.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: You're going to have surgery, I would assume. I'm sure
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: you're going to have to plate it again. It's just
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: my assumption.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: How long are you out? Are you out the full year?
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: Could you come back if it's, like, postseason time?
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: You know, could you come back at the very end
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: of the season?
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: It's a maybe. But you're playing the bulk of this
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: year without wet weeks, regardless. Yeah, this was heartbreaking news for,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: I would assume, most fans out there, certainly me watching this.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: This has been, I mean, his whole career here at LSU,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: it's been one of these things where his body just can't,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Match his mindset.
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: And his mindset is awesome. It is unarguably incredible.
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Like you said, he's one of the best leaders you've
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: ever seen on a college football field. Absolutely. And it's
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: all organic. I mean, he was the guy that in
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: the transfer portal, like he was, he was on the
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: job every single day, every day, right? Every single day.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: He has been the heart of like this LSU program
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: for a long time. And he's been a constant, been
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: a consistent. And for, his body not to just be
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: able to match that has been tough to watch. And
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I know it's way harder on him. And I don't
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: know what this means for, you know, kind of his
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: future or whatever. And I might be in the minority
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: on this, but, like, he's given so much to LSU
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: and given so much to the program. He's sitting here
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: today not knowing a lot of information. I kind of
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: hope that's the last time he's put on the uniform
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: because I think that we, like, I hope that he
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: gets his body right and doesn't put his body in
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: any more, like, in harm's way to have an opportunity
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: at that next level, to have the best opportunity to
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: go to that next level.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, you do have five for five.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Now, Witt's an NFL player. I mean, yeah, for sure.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? So, like, it could be
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: him saying, look, I got to start that clock. I
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: got to go do that. But that's like secondary for
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: me and for you too because we've gotten to know Witt.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, again, that was the only recruiting visit LSU's
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: ever called me in on was Witt Weeks.
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: So I've known him since he was literally in high school.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: I just feel awful for him because, I mean, he
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: happened a big year, was set up for a big year, and.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: Just brutal, man. And the rehab that that young man
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: has done, Like, look, I'm old.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: So every time I'll go in there for a little something,
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: a little dry kneeling or something, he was on the
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: table doing something.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Right. Trying to get ready for this season. I mean,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: he's been all ball. He's been all LSU. And, yeah,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: it sucks. It sucks really bad. And I know that
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: he's going to do everything that he can to get
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: back as fast as he can. But from what he's
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: kind of meant, I don't know. I hope he doesn't.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: put himself in a compromise situation. And I know there's
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: adults in the room over there and I get it.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: They're going to, they're going to protect himself from himself.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: But I just know that young man is going to,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: he's going to have the mindset that he wants to
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: play two weeks. So like, you know, you gotta, we'll see,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens of course. But, um, I mean,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Lane said it, I mean, it's hard. This team wasn't
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: constructed and built to sustain too many season ending injuries.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: And it's starting to kind of add up now. And it's, um,
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Now this one, you've got to go in, you've got
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: to see. You're going to have surgery, and so this
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: could be a deal. I know some people put a four-week.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: This is longer than four weeks. I would say six
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: to eight more realistically would be it, and six, maybe
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: that's the number. But again, you do have to be
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: smart for him and himself and just for everything involved.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: But like four weeks after going in, Surgery, that feels
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: too soon.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: So I know four to six was tabbed on there.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: I would say more six to eight.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, four to six. I mean, it's like it's already
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: had surgery, right? Already had a plate, something like that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know the specifics of his past, like injuries. Well,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: his other one, yeah, he has a plate, yes. Yeah. Right. Mm-hmm. So,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I mean. I'd go on the longer side.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: Same leg?
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I believe so, yeah.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: I believe, yes, right leg.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: And, like, more plates doesn't make you like RoboCop.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Because when I went down there. We asked. When I
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: went down there afterwards, like, that was kind of the
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: conversation that they were having.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Well, we definitely asked. So, more plates make you stronger.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Not necessarily.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: We were talking about a postgame, and you compared him
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: to Sean Lee. I think that is the perfect.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: Sean's a hell of a player.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: I had to play against him, practice against him when
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: we did the joint against the Cowboys.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: His body just could not match the mind. He was
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: going to run through your face.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Similar players consist when they're on the field, leaders of
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: the defense, and just body couldn't keep up.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: The other part of this, though, that is important to
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: note out, Charles Ross covering a punt.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: Tore his ACL. That's another linebacker.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: So now, you're down to, you got Singleton, you got Keyes,
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: and you got Zach Weeks next to TJ Daughtery. So
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: you're getting real thin at that position when you lose
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: one for the year. And I knew it as soon
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: as he did it. It was non-contact.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: He grabbed his knee.
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: I said, well, that's an ACL.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: He's out.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: And if Witt's out, again, I don't think four to six.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: I'm going to say six to eight.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: You're, Your depth is being tested because that's a position
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: also that's going to be a lot of core four
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: war daddies out there on teams. And so now you've
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: got to kind of be careful with that, too. You
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: can't have them all out there because you're going to
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: need them on defense.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's– I think you're– yeah, you're kind of going
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: from the top linebacker crew in the country, in my opinion.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Now it's like, man, who– who's going to be there,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: who's going to be, like, how consistent we can't sustain
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: many more blows to this linebacker. What point do you
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: have to start going six DBs? Yeah. Two stars?
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: No.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: That would just be a dime. It would be a dime.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: It would just be a dime.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: One more part of the whole deal, and we can
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: talk about it.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: What? Did you just drop it?
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: That is an option, like, to add some defensive backs,
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: but you're– Gosh, you're getting kind of thin there, too.
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about what the defense looks like with this
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: injury news and maybe what base is going to kind
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: of look like if they do go with a sub package,
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: and we'll do that to end our number one here
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: on OTB.
• 41:34

  Speaker 8: Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: of you somehow.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: OTV here live from the Raising Cane Studio. All right,
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: so we're talking a little injuries with LSU. Charles Ross
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: and Whit Weeks, those are both your well linebackers. They're
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: going to be out. Ross for the year, Weeks for
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: some time. So you have T.J. Dotterer right there at mic.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: Devon Keyes is somebody that certainly has a ton of experience.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: He's going to be the starter. There's no doubt in
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: my mind about that. You've got Ty Singleton, who made
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: a play, made a really good play, instinctive play in
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: this game. Then you have Zach Weeks as well.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: You're thin. You're going to have to, the old.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Rubik's Cube that we talked about, Tay-Tay, you're going to
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: have to keep turning that thing, too, to see.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: You might have to move some people.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Some people might have to play different positions just to
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: try to create some depth.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you move Jaden Breaker from inside backer
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: to edge rusher at the beginning of fall camp because
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: of injuries. He hadn't repped a ton at edge rusher anyways.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: You can always move him back. Jake, during the break,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: you brought up C.J. Jim Coyley. I mean, he's a
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: big body moving him from.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: He played on the edge against Ole Miss.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, moving him to inside because, I mean,
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: he's played safety. He's played on the edge. He could
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: probably fit right in there as well. You're going to
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: have to piece it together, though.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: The old duct tape and super glue. You're going to
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: need some really good play from your defensive line. Yeah. Because,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, what are teams going to do if you
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: start getting thin and having to play some safeties in
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: the linebacks? They're going to try to big boy you.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: They're going to try to big dog you. So you've
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: got to get some really good play, which you are getting,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: which is a positive thing. Deuce Gerald, a true freshman.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Kid's a beast. He is really good.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: He plays with some fire, too. I mean, he's super athletic, too.
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: That play he made against Marcel Reed, you will see
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: that on Eye in the Sky. I can promise you.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: Along with 34 probably other plays. Who got worse over
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: from last year to this year? Marcel Reed or John Mateer? Well,
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: Reed was just really good against you.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Reed wasn't good last year.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: We've got weekend winners coming up in a little bit,
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: but we've also got to talk about the Saints losing
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: to the Raiders.
